Don't need no stinkin caps. What would they do?

Easiest way to check diodes is with a dmm (power OFF of course). Check
them a couple of times a year. They are pretty darned reliable when rated
properly and used in an isolator. 'Course, if you pop a breaker sometime,
it might be good to test the diodes at that time as well.

Have fun!

Has anyone worked out the size of diodes and caps
required to do the job? I plan to build my own....can't see
paying $100 plus for 4 diodes and a couple of caps.

The tricky part might be figuring out a way to monitor the
device for blown components. Anyone done that? Ides?

Thanks,
